For exam Why didn't they allow to print something else than space characters ? It would have been interesting (?) to have the ability to repeat a sequence of any character. -Maybe like `PRINT REPT("*",10)` would print 10 asterisks. +Maybe something like `PRINT REPT("*",10)` could have printed 10 asterisks. But Applesoft does not provide such an instruction. So are we doomed to use `PRINT "**********"`? -Here's a technique that will allow you to repeat any character, even in `FLASH` and `INVERSE` without using additional 6502 routines. +Here's a technique that will allow you to repeat any character, even in `FLASH` and `INVERSE` without using additional 6502 routines. And it's very easy to implement ! ## Discovery Let's see something weird ...
